With the openings of Oblivion and The Lords of Salem, the expansion of The Place Beyond the Pines, and the Netflix premiere of Hemlock Grove today — not to mention new episodes of Mad Men and Game of Thrones this Sunday — film and TV lovers are already spoiled for choice when it comes to stuff to watch this weekend. But if none of those suit your fancy, or if you still have some hours left to fill, Amazon also has fourteen comedy and children’s pilots ready for viewing right now on their site.

The highest-profile of the crop by far is Zombieland, but there are also new shows involving The Onion, Kristen Schaal, John Goodman, and many more. And if you like what you see, you can actively help your favorites live on. Amazon will decide which of the pilots get picked up to series based on their popularity with viewers.

While it’s common practice for networks to order a bunch of pilots and then pick and choose their favorites, Amazon’s taking a more unusual approach by letting viewers decide what they want to keep watching. Eight comedy and six children’s pilots are now available to stream for free, and audiences are encouraged to leave ratings and reviews.

Amazon’s decisions will be based on “a lot of data points” that take into account, including how many people see each pilot, how highly they rate it, and how frequently they share it on social media. Thus, a show that has a small but devoted fanbase is likelier to get greenlit than one that more people saw but weren’t as passionate about. In addition, the company will look at feedback from more traditional focus groups and an Amazon preview panel.

Amazon has not yet decided how many of the shows will make the cut, or when they’ll premiere. Any seasons they order will likely run around 13 episodes. The comedies and kids’ shows represent Amazon’s first attempt at scripted programming. The company is currently developing a drama slate to go with them.
